About Ryan
Biography
Ryan is South Carolina born and raised and has worked since he was 14 years old starting with bagged groceries. He continued to work through high school and swung a hammer working construction during college. Ryan is the first in his family to ever graduate college.
Ryan is a former insurance company lawyer and as a former insurance company attorney, he knows first-hand how they work. Adjusters deny claims. Some deny your medical care, some deny your money and they try to pay as little possible on your case. Finally, he’d had enough of taking orders that would potentially harm the injured in South Carolina and knew the only way to make a difference was to switch sides to help the injured using his 20 years of experience to help those who have been severely injured in South Carolina whether it be a workers’ compensation injury, a car accident or trucking accident.
Ryan is married with 3 boys. When not working he enjoys the outdoors and giving back to the community through “We’ve Got Your Back”, a community initiative where Ryan Montgomery Law donates pre-stuffed backpacks to local area public schools.

Amazing Worker's Comp Advocate!
The entire firm, but Ryan specifically, treated me like family. I felt welcomed at every corner. Even though the process of pursuing a worker's comp claim was foreign and complicated to me Ryan and Cammey patiently walked me through each process.

Ryan S Montgomery's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ryan formerly worked for me when we were both insurance defense lawyers at a large local firm. In that arena, he was very easy to work with and was an extremely fast learner. Since then we have both left the large firm to pursue other avenues, but as a Workers' Compensation and/or Personal Injury lawyer, you could not be in better hands."
"Ryan is an excellent attorney who works very hard for his clients. Highly recommended!"

"I endorse this lawyer. I have been on the opposite side of Ryan in several cases, including workers compensation, insurance coverage and construction cases. Ryan knows his cases, the law, is a zealous advocate for his clients, but also practices in such a way as to not create additional work, and exense, for all involved. He handles cases the way they should be handled."
"Ryan is an experienced advocate who is knowledgeable and ethical. He represents his clients well."
